REAL MADRID are putting pressure on Kylian Mbappe – by threatening to move for Eden Hazard instead.
Mbappe is Real Madrid’s number one target and the offer is there if he wants it.
Mbappe has been concerned over the amount of games he would play at Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and co to deal with.
And he also appears to have had his head turned by PSG’s mega-money offer after a meeting this week.
So Madrid are making things clear to the teenage sensation. If he wants to join, the opportunity is there.
But they will not do anything ridiculous in terms of fee or playing promises. They are prepared to make him the most expensive player in world football, but will not go much beyond that.
And Spanish publication Don Balon claim Madrid have a back up option in the form of Chelsea star Hazard.
It is claimed Hazard is desperate to wear the Madrid shirt and Zinedine Zidane is a big fan.
Don Balon also say Hazard had already looked for a house and school for his children before his injury.
And it is claimed Zidane personally spoke to Hazard after he picked up his ankle injury this summer while on international duty.
Madrid haven’t closed the door on a deal for Hazard despite the injury and could still look to sign him this summer.
And Florentino Perez is ready to sign the Chelsea star if a deal for Mbappe does’t materialise.
